Draped in a Venezuelan national flag, opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, second from right, is surrounded by anti-government demonstrators and media, just before Lopez surrenders to national guards, in Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014. Lopez re-emerged from days of hiding to address an anti-government demonstration and then surrendered to authorities Tuesday in a move that he said will open the world's eyes to the increasingly authoritarian bent of Venezuela's socialist government.
